Can support be added for half hour time zones? #16

Open vk5ln opened 1 week ago

vk5ln commented 1 week ago

I am (un)lucky enough to live in an area of the world were we have a half hour time zone, South Australia. Standard time is 9.5 hours ahead of UTC and Summer time is 10.5 hours. While the Chat64 software does allow entering +9.5 for the Time Offset, this doesn't give me the correct time.

I know this is a narrow edge case issue but I am hoping that this could be addressed at some stage.

During the summer Australia's standard three time zones grows to five as some states do not observe daylight saving time. We even end up with the crazy situation where a state to the East of South Australia (Queensland) is 30 minutes behind us!

Hi, I can fix that! The time offset is added (or substracted) in the php code on the server so we might get lucky and do not need to change the cartridge code.. I'll be back. Bart

That has been fixed now. You should get the correct time now. I changed it in the backend so no need to update your cartridge.

Thank you so much for checking this out. I will try it out and see how it goes.

I've sent a few test messages this morning (my time) and the time that appears next to the message is still 30 mins out. If I send the message at 1.10pm, it appears as 12.40pm on the software. I have set Time Offset at +9.5. Do I need to specify minutes eg +9.30 ?

+9.5 should be the right format. I see what I did.. It should be working now. Please let me know.
